Bridge on the Hudson

8 x 10 oil on stretched canvas

This painting was done this past weekend as part of the newest workshop I am participating in. The workshop involves painting on location in the town of Moreau, just south of Glensfalls, NY. I loved the opportunity to paint outside and know next time to apply more sunscreen.

She Said What?



12 x 36 oil on stretched canvas

This is a big canvas with extra deep painted edges. The 'model' for this painting was a singular gull that I captured in different postures during our trip to South Carolina. I went through about 5 different names for this painting, but could just picture these birds catching up on yesterday's gossip with their feet in the sand.

Beach Day


6 x 6 oil on panel

Here are my twins absolutely loving a beach day in South Carolina during our recent vacation. The challenge was leaving the beach at the end of the day. I allowed myself only one nap time to paint this painting, so I would only focus on the shadows and light and not all the details!

It's been quite some time since I posted a painting, thanks to a nice trip to South Carolina. This painting is of Brave Boat Harbor for those of you familiar with York, ME. I'm enjoying painting reflected water and looking forward to getting up to the Maine coast soon.
